Your Website: Why is it important?

9. 91.2% lack a Facebook widget (e.g., “like” button)
94.6% lack a Twitter widget (e.g., “follow” button)
Local Businesses are also lagging behind other businesses when it comes to
connecting their website visitors to their social media channels
Businesses have also been leveraging Facebook to replace
websites. Why, I ask? The answer I hear is: Websites are
expensive, Facebook is FREE, EASY TO USE, & POPULAR…
YES ….. BUT….

10. Not having a website could negatively impact your small business
marketing.
1.) The Control is In Your Hands : Facebook constantly changes their
policies, with their best interests in mind. With your own website, you
have full control of the content, it’s presentation ,and how it best serves
your clients, customers, and business objectives.
The best strategy is ALWAYS a multi-channel approach anchoring
all your efforts with a well built and informational website.
2.) Facebook is BIG, but GOOGLE IS BIGGER
3.) Many Facebook Visitors, may never return to your Facebook page
again.
Your Website: Why is it important?

11. • Consumers expect all businesses to have a
website, regardless of size
• Smartphone penetration = 75% in the U.S.
• Nearly 63 percent now using multiple devices to
find a local business.
 Mobile phone showed the highest conversion
rate, with nearly 80 percent of mobile phone
searches ending in a purchase.
Behaviors & Expectations:

14. • It’s the most important product a business can have
• It is YOUR store front
• It is YOUR 1st impression to potential buyers
• It establishes credibility
• Without it, you are losing business to your competitors
• Start with the basics, answer key questions
• Portray your business’ personality
• Surpass the consumer’s expectations
Your Website: Why is it important?

15. • Contact Info: How to reach your business should be displayed prominently on
each page.
• Navigation: Don’t make it difficult for users to find their way around your site.
• Aesthetics: Keep a good balance of content and graphics. Be consistent with
company branding and also visually appealing
• Content: Content should answer customer’s common questions and include
important product/service information.
